If the manufacturer and model number you entered was found, then Harmony will add it to your account without any further notification. Harmony's matching algorithm will also correct common mistakes such as a 'L' being confused as a '1', or a zero being confused as the letter 'O'.

The device was found, and we have information that may help you

When adding a device to your account, Harmony looks for information that may help you in controlling this device and will display that information if anything's found. It's important that you review this as changes may have to be made to your device before it can be controlled.

You may review this information again later by logging into the desktop software and selecting the Devices tab. Devices that have additional information will have an information (i) icon located above them.

The device was found; however there are different versions of this device

Most devices respond to a single type of IR signal; however some devices have multiple versions of those IR signals and it's important that Harmony understands which one to send. By default, Harmony will add the device into your account using the most common version; however if that does not work you can change the version. View this support article for more information: Understanding devices with multiple IR versions.

The device was not found; however we have suggestions

If the manufacturer and model number you entered was not found in the Harmony database, however similar matches were, those similar matches will be presented. It's important to review these carefully as different model numbers often means the device will have different IR commands or input/source lists that may cause your Activities to start incorrectly. If you are sure the information entered is correct, then you may still add this device by teaching Harmony IR commands from the original remote.
